Devices & File Analysis
SC5000 PRIME can play music files from USB drives, SD cards, or other connected SC5000 PRIME units. Make sure

Supported file systems: exFAT (recommended), FAT32
Supported file formats: AAC/M4A
Although SC5000 PRIME can play tracks that have not been analyzed yet, pre-analyzing them allows its features
to work most effectively. You can analyze tracks in one of two ways:
•
On SC5000 PRIME, load the track: When you load a track to play, SC5000 PRIME will automatically
analyze it (if it has not already been analyzed). This may take a moment to complete, depending on the
length of the track. You can start playing the track from the beginning immediately, though you will need
to wait a moment for the analysis to finish.
•
Use Engine DJ software: The included Engine DJ software can pre-analyze your music library to use with
SC5000 PRIME. You can also use it to organize your library by creating playlists. It also manages your
SC5000 PRIME hardware preferences (see

To eject a USB drive or SD card:
1.
Make sure none of its tracks are being played on any connected SC5000 PRIME units.
2.
Press Media Eject. A list of connected devices will appear in the touchscreen.
3.
Tap the Eject icon on the touchscreen next to the name of your device. If a track on the device is currently
playing, you will be asked if you want to continue ejecting, which will stop the track. Tap Cancel to cancel
ejecting the device, or tap OK to eject it.
To eject additional devices, repeat Step 3.
To return to the previous screen, press Media Eject again, or tap the X in the upper-right corner.
Networking
You can network multiple SC5000 PRIME units together, enabling them to share track databases, timing and BPM
information, and other data seamlessly over this connection.
This feature provides many advantages while performing. For instance, if you are using four SC5000 PRIME units,
you can use one of them to browse through all tracks on all devices (USB drives or SD cards) connected to any of
those SC5000 units. You can then play any of those tracks immediately without having to move a device from one
unit to the other.
To network SC5000 PRIME units together, use the included networking cables to do one of the following:
•
If you are using only two SC5000 PRIME units, connect their two Link ports.
•
If you are using two or more SC5000 PRIME units, connect each of their Link ports to a Link port (1–4) on
your Denon DJ mixer.
•
If you are using two or more SC5000 PRIME units, connect each of their Link ports to an Ethernet port on
a router.
The Network (Media Status) light will turn on when the SC5000 PRIME unit is properly connected to a network.
Configuration
The SC5000 PRIME has several settings that help you customize playback and how information is displayed.
